This thesis investigates the processing of phrases written in eastern kanji and chinese language hànzì, i.e. logographic scripts. distinctive consciousness is given to the truth that the vast majority of jap kanji have a number of pronunciations (generally counting on the mix a kanji kinds with different characters). First, utilizing masked priming, it really is verified that upon presentation of a eastern kanji a number of pronunciations are activated. In next experiments utilizing observe naming with context photos it's concluded that either chinese language hànzì and jap kanji are learn out loud through an immediate course from orthography to phonology. besides the fact that, basically jap kanji turn into at risk of semantic or phonological context results due to a value as a result of the processing of a number of pronunciations. eventually, zooming in at the measurement of the articulatory making plans unit in eastern it really is concluded that the mora as a phonological unit most sensible complies with the saw information trend and never the phoneme or the syllable.

See Appendix and Figure 2 for an overview of the Japanese and Chinese stimuli. - 60 - Figure 2. Examples of experimental stimuli. Chinese Stimuli. Twenty Chinese target hànzì stimuli were selected. All but two hànzì matched the Japanese in the sense that they also consisted of a single character. No target-context pairs were phonologically overlapping. 72, ns (taken from Yokoyama, Sasahara, Nozaki & Long, 1998, and Da, 2004, respectively). Reading aloud design. e. e. picture first) and Relatedness (semantically related or unrelated context picture).

1998) study, discussed in the introduction, in which participants were asked to name the kanji targets directly. In this situation, the two readings of the target only receive activation from the target, which makes it more likely that the activation of the incorrect, competing reading delays the selection of - 44 the correct one. A recent study by Verdonschot, La Heij, and Schiller (2010) showed that when kanji characters need to be named, superimposed, semantically related context pictures facilitated naming in comparison to unrelated pictures.

87, ns; F2(1,19) < 1. 1%) and therefore not analyzed. Discussion We reported four important empirical results in this study. First, a significant semantic interference effect induced by visually presented distractor words in Japanese picture naming. Second, an analogous semantic interference effect in Chinese picture naming. Third, a significant semantic facilitation effect induced by context pictures in Japanese word (kanji) naming at two SOAs (-150 ms and 0 ms). Fourth, the absence of such effects in Chinese word (hànzì) naming at the same SOAs.
